Για σήμερα τελευταία ημέρα του χρόνου μία φημισμένη παρτίδα, αυτή ανάμεσα στον D. Byrne και τον 13χρονο τότε Fischer! Χαρακτηρίστηκε η παρτίδα του αιώνα, καθώς ο Fischer κερδίζει δείχνοντας δημιουργικότητα και φαντασία· στοιχεία δηλαδή που θα θέλαμε όλοι να βλέπουμε και στο δικό μας παιχνίδι. Με αυτή λοιπόν την ευχή αποχαιρετάμε το 2013 και ευχόμαστε ένα καλύτερο 2014! Υ.Γ. Οι βαριάντες είναι του GM Shipov, ενώ τα λεκτικά σχόλια έχουν προστεθεί από τη σελίδα της wikipedia.

"hypermodern" principles, inviting Byrne to establish a classical pawn

his fianchettoed bishop and other pieces.} 6. Qb3 (6. e3) (6. Rc1 $5) 6... dxc4

prevent 11...Nfd7 followed by ...e5, but Byrne errs by not completing his
development. Numerous authors suggest 11.Be2 instead, protecting the king and
preparing kingside castling.} (11. Be2 Nfd7 12. Qa3 Bxf3 13. Bxf3 e5 14. dxe5

play, misplacing Byrne's king. It appears that Fischer must solve his problems
with his queen, whereupon White can play 18.Qxc3, with a winning material
advantage.} Be6 $3 {This stunning stratagem is the move that made this game
famous. Instead of saving his queen, Fischer offers to sacrifice it.} (17...

13-year-old opponent in the ensuing complications. However, Fischer gets far
too much for his queen, leaving Byrne with a hopeless game.} (18. Bxe6 {would

24. Qb4 Ra4 $1 {Perhaps Byrne overlooked this move when analyzing 18.Bxb6,
expecting instead 24...Nxd1? 25.Qxc4, which is much less clear. Otherwise, it
is hard to explain why Byrne played 18.Bxb6, since Black now has a clear win.}
25. Qxb6 Nxd1 $19 {Byrne could resign here, but plays on until checkmate. One
of Byrne's chess students related later why he played on: "First of all, you
have to remember that in 1956 no one knew that Bobby Fischer was going to
become Bobby Fischer! He was just a very promising 13-year-old kid who played
a great game against me. When it got to the position where I was lost, I asked
some of the other competitors if it might be a nice thing to let the kid mate
me, as a kind of tribute to the fine game he played. They said, 'Sure, why
not?' and so I did." Tim Krabbé, Open Chess Diary} 26. h3 Rxa2 27. Kh2 Nxf2
